Publisher Description
A savage murder rocks a quiet Boston suburb, revealing the dark secrets at the center of a group of friends in this clever, propulsive debut from new master of suspense, Terri Parlato …
Snow falls softly outside Molly Bradley’s home on a frigid January night. Inside, half a dozen close friends are gathered to celebrate the fortieth birthday of Molly’s psychologist husband, Jay. Candlelight gleams against dark wood, wine
flows, and the house rings with laughter. Everybody loves Jay, Molly most of all.
Yet next morning, Molly discovers Jay dead on the floor of his office, his throat brutally slashed.
After decades working with the Boston PD, Detective Rita Myers has grown accustomed to the banality of evil—the murders that make no sense beyond bad luck or a tragic brush with the worst of humanity. But Jay Bradley’s murder isn’t
random, or a mere crime of opportunity. Rita is convinced that someone in the couple’s small circle killed him. Someone who was celebrating with them that night.
Devastated, Molly tries to make sense of her husband’s death. Jay was her rock, the only person who really understood the nightmare she lived through long ago.
He knew the horrors she’s kept hidden even from her friends. But shocking revelations are making her question if Jay was all he seemed to be—and whether someone else knows her past too. And until Molly figures out who she can really
trust, she won’t be able to stop herself becoming the next target …
Customer Reviews
Great thriller!
I understand this is the author debut novel, well done! You definitely know how to tell a story. Molly and Jay have most of their good friends over to celebrate Jay’s 40th birthday. Molly retires as everyone is about to leave. Jay wants to work a bit in his garage office on his book about killers, an interest he has being a psychologist and his father and grandfather’s story of the Boston Strangler also fascinated him. Come morning something is off, doesn’t feel right to Molly. No scent of coffee, no Jay in kitchen. She looks for him in his office and finds him dead, his throat slit.
Detective Rita Myers is on the scene, going with her instincts she believes that it was someone Jay knew, someone that was at the party.
Will keep you guessing, plus there’s another mystery to be solved, but are they related? The growth and determination with Molly to find her husband’s killer and to deal with her past history of being a victim was riveting. The audio narrators were very good. The only thing was with so many characters, I did rewind to keep them straight. In that respect a book is better, but overall I throughly enjoyed the story.
